REPORT ON SUGAR AND MO-
LASSES,

Washington, July 2S.-The Chief
of the Bureau of Statistics has issued
his quarterly report, which contains,
among other interesting matter,
tables in regard to sugar and molas-
SEES, showing the imports and ex-
ports of these articles since 1883,
their production in the United States
and foreign countries for series of
years, the present tariff rates in
leading commercial countries, and
the export duties imposed by va
rious countries on sugar. The value
of the imports of sugar has ranged
from 4.18 per cent Of value dutia-
BILE imports in 1925 TO 10 per cent
of such imports in 1875, and the
duty collected thereon has huctuated
from 4.76 per cent of all customs
duties on dutiable merchandise in
1925 to 1916 per cent in 1885.
A table is given showing the lead
ing sources of the customs revenue
in the order of magnitude for the
series of years. Sugar and molas-
SEES comprise our leading sources of
revenue, being ~ per cent of the
total collected in 1886, the manu-
facture of wooden goods standing
next, at II per cent.
The highest annual average speci-
fic rate of duty collected on sugar
was in 1928, when it amounted to
1898 cents per pound, and the
lowest in 1861, at Z of a cent per
pound.
The highest annual foreign cost
of sugar per pound was in 1886,
when it was II cents per pound,
and the lowest in 1885, when it was
Z cents per pound. Foreign prices
for sugar have been tending down
ward since 1881, largely caused by
the worlds increased production.
Interesting data are given in re-
gard to the sugar product of thi;
and other countries, and Of the orr
gin and growth of the industry ii
Louisiana. The latter had its most
prosperous period prior to the civi
war, since when it has not wholly
recovered. Then again the largely
increased production of foreign
countries has rendered it Difficult
for our producers to compete sue
cessfully with them in our market
During the period just prior tt
the war we produced about one
quarter of all the sugar consumed
in the country. During the las
calendar year, however. we pro
dGced only one-tenth.--[S. +. Ex

County Commissioners.
Yesterday morning the session was
opened with the full board present.
after routine work q petition was
presented to the board signed by mum.
erous taxpayers in the vicinity of AL
zada, praying that a bridge be built

ers asking the board to allow 500 and
that the petitioners will subscribe the
remainder necessary to build such
bridge. On motion said petition was
granted and the clerk was directed to
instruct the road supervisor in whose
district said proposed bridge Is to be
located, to proceed to build said bridge
In accordance with the plans and
specifications filed in this Office and
the clerk was fret directed to send the
road supervisor list of persons hav.
ing subscribed toward the building Of
said bridge.
Claims against the county were then
taken up and subjected to careful
scrutiny and investigation. The re-
spective funds in which some of the
claims should be allowed was the sub
ject Of some discussion and the opin-
ion of the attorneys was demanded to
settle disputes.
Mr.. Commissioner Whitney offered
the following resolution, which was
adopted:
Whereas, This board did on the 3rd
day Of January, 1887, levy stock in.
spection tax of one mill and q stock

tional tax levy and the clerk lie hereby
directed to take notice hereof and

HonQWalter Cooper, Of Bozeman,
passed west this morning, returning
from the meeting which was held at
the agency Saturday. 1t will be re-
membered that President Cleveland
desired the chiefs and prominent Crow
Indians to ratiiy the bill granting the
right OF way to the Rocky Fork q
Cooke City railway, through their res.
ervation, which was granted last win.
ter by Congress.
The Indians were therefore ordered
to meet at the agency Saturday. 1t
being ration day. and fearing few
chiefs might not get there until Mon
day (which would be to-day they
hardly thought the council with the
Indians would come OFF before Mon.
day. However, nearly all did reach
there in time.
Mr.. Cooper learning that the other
officers Of the road could not reach
there on account Of high water and
for other reasons, thought best to
proceed at once. There was In at
tendance over 600 chiefs and leading
Indians. All seemed to have their
minds already made up to sign the
papers granting the right Of way,
which they did without q dissenting
voice and without raising q question
In opposition to it. After all had
signed, one old chief arrived and
when told what was done, he wanted
to sign 1t also, and was allowed to do
30. The council was very satisfactory
to all concerned. The willingness of
the Crows to sign goes far to show that
they are becoming more and more civ.
ilized, and would without q doubt, II

OHIO Farmers In Revolt.

In Ohio the Prohibitionists will
at least double their vote this
year if they put up an acceptable
man. They are already in the
field, recognizing in all the coun-
ties in the State. There will be a
wide spread revolt of the farmers
of Ohio from both parties because
of the action of the Legislature in
denying them local option. Said
Rev. Dr.. Washington GLADDEN. to
me, last evening, speaking of the
refusal of the present Legislature
to give the townships local option.
when a party gets itself into that
position-and both the Republi-
can and Democratic parties in
Ohio are there to-day-where it OPP
poses the welfare Of the State in
order to conserve wha. it falsely
couceives to be the welfare of it.
self as a party, then that party
ought to be accursed and destroyed !;
and if there is a God in Heaven
it will be, that is if it don't re-

sis than that" In that utterance
DR.. GLADDEN. strongly voices the
sentiment of a hundred thousand

Some good Prohibitionists in
Pennsylvania, despairing of effsc-
tive Temperance legislation
through the Republican party
which is now in power In the State,
are Indifferent to the success of the
Prohibition amendment now pend
ing in the legislature. These
Jealous friends of the good cause
are making, in our judgment,
great mistake. The proposed
amendment will bring the whole
question of license or prohibition
before the people for discussion,
and in the fairest and most effec-
tive way. That discussion will ed
ucate the people, and create and
solidify prohibition sentiment, in
a wonderful degree. The debate of
the next two years, if the Legisla.
ture submits the proposition, will
reach every church, every school
house, every Preside in the common
wealth. 1t will be grand oppor-
tunity for the advocates of truth
and purity, and the decision,
which we confidently expect will
be against the liquor traffic, will
exert powerful influence through
out the nation. Every friend of
Tenn perance should do his utmost
to bring about this opportunity, to
open this wide and effsctual door.

ENFORCING THE LAW.

1t has been demonstrated in New York
that the regulations for closing saloons on
Sunday can be enforced The proof was
of the strongest character. 1t consisted
simply on Sunday last in the police obey
ing orders and shutting up every drinking
place in the great metropolis. Yet the
whole country had been told that the
thing was impossible; that the law could
not be enforced that the moral sentiment
OF the people did not back it." and all
such twaddle. 1t is noticeable wherever
an officer does not desire to compel ODE
dience to law, that he invariably falls
back upon the plea that the moral senti-
ment of the people does not warrant vigor
on his part. Yet, whenever an official
does enforce the law and compel the law
less to do obeisance to it, somehow he finds
the "moral sentiment" to be favorable to
his action. The truth is that the great
moral sense of the people fortifes all the
laws of the country, with, perhaps, excep-
tional winking at the evasion of the law
Furnishing men for taking human life,
where the slayer is defending the honor of
his wife or daughter, mother or sister.
Officers who have the disposition them
selves to obey the law and to be indepen-
dent of influences that desire the laws to
become dead letters very rarely indeed
lack the support of the moral sentiment of
the community. What is true in New
York is true in Sacramento. We have
wise laws and ordinances that are openly
defied and laughed to scorn; yet it is per-
fectly certain that, if the officers saw fit to
enforce these laws, they would not en-
counter the danger of opposition by the
moral sense of the people 1t might be
well for some of our neglectful peace off
GERS to try the experiment and give the
moral sentiment "a chance"
